Ava's First Communion


May 5, 2012
Ava's First communion was such a joy filled day! It was such a blessing to know she would receive our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, His Body, blood, Soul and Divinity!! I was so happy to know her friends and family were praying for her, and so grateful to have so many attend her first communion. It was so great to see all the first communicants go to confession before mass to make sure their souls were clean and ready for the all the Grace Jesus wanted to give them.  It was such beautiful mass!  I loved having the sprinkling rite to remind them of their baptism.  (Gavin got a little more holy water during the Homily!)  Fr Steve gave a great homily to the kids and adults! Ava read her petition so well!! We are so proud of Ava for understanding and being ready for these great sacraments, Penance and Holy Eucharist. (Even a year early!)  I pray Ava will always stay close to Him!!
